Dr. Billings is a very kind and thorough doctor. After reading some review I was a bit nervous but clearly they couldn’t have been further from the truth. He was extremely kind, asked me all the right questions and heard my concerns with patience. He even showed me my x-ray and explained to me what I was looking at and why he wasn’t concerned. I highly recommend him. He clearly knows what he’s doing.

I saw dr. Billings only one time. In my opinion he never learned how to read. I filled out paperwork and put meds I am allergic to. Well after he looked at mri and x-rays he wanted to give me med I am highly allergic to. After I put that in my initial paperwork. Then he wanted to give me anti seizure meds. I am not epileptic. So I never went back after he was highly recommended. I have chronic pain in my back sue to slipped and ruptured discs and a pinched nerve. If he treats his patients Luke he did me well all I can say he will never see me again . THANK GOD for the freedom of choice!!! In my opinion he is a "HORSE" doctor

In my opinion Doctor Billings needs to retire. He was unwilling to answer all of my questions, and dismissed my concerns. He simply got up and walked out of the room before I could finish speaking to him about his recommendations for my care. His nurse Sylvia is a miserable human being. She is very rude and uncaring, as well as seeming annoyed by the mere presence or questions of a patient.

He is a wonderful,caring doctor. The only thing I would say he needs improvement on is his head nurse. Ms. Slyvia is rude,uncaring and insulting. She needs to go back to nursing school for her attitude. Nurses are suppose to be nice with a pleasant attitude. She totally fails to have that. She should be reported to the Board of Nurses. I really like Dr. Billings. He is very good in his line of work.
